2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3 Therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one who wars tangles with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully. 6 It is right for the laboring farmer to partake first of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say, and the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
